Question map
A perimeter wall of standard height should have further reinforcement with which of the following?
1. Barbed wire on top
2. Setting spikes
3. Concertina wire
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Explanation
Perimeter security is designed to provide a physical barrier that deters, delays, and detects unauthorized entry. According to standard security protocols and industrial safety guidelines (such as those followed by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) or CPWD specifications), a perimeter wall of standard height (typically 2.4 to 3 meters) requires additional reinforcement to prevent scaling.
- Barbed wire: Consists of twisted strands of wire with sharp barbs at regular intervals, serving as a basic deterrent.
- Setting spikes: This involves embedding jagged glass pieces in mortar or fixing metal spikes (anti-climb spikes) atop the wall.
- Concertina wire: A type of barbed or razor wire formed in large coils which can be expanded like a concertina; it is highly effective due to its density and sharpness.
All three methods are standard engineering practices used to enhance the security of sensitive installations and boundaries.
